The awesomeness of the P1 fully on display. Some other stuff going on here but the P1 is doing the heavy lifting. Would love to hear your thoughts. Texturals

Dig it. Very nice stuff. CZ 1000 is a great synth.

Granted this is mostly Roland SE-02, but it's the XW-P1 Hex pads that really make this piece what it is. Titled "Intro" simply because it feels like it's an introduction to something. I appreciate you all clicking the link, giving it a listen, and letting me know what you think either here or on my Soundcloud page. Thanks!

Intro

I use the Lester K as well and haven't experienced this problem. I'd check your EQ settings. Pretty much what AllenK said.

I'll preface this by saying I bought the EH Lester K and it has pretty much satisfied my need for a better rotary speaker effect. However, before I added an external effects box I had a much simpler solution to get a serviceable organ, at least good enough for this weekend warrior. I created a Hex layer with four separate organ tones, detuning some slightly along with some other tweaks, then simply used the chorus effect to add that rotating speaker. It's sort of what I used to do in the old days with my string synth and something guitar players have been doing for years. Pretty neanderthal I guess, but it got me by.

For anyone who's still considering options on upgrading the rotary speaker effect for the P1's drawbar organ, here's my users review on the new Lester K pedal. http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/Lester-K/reviews Bottom line, it's legit. 

I read that too.  The ad says MZ-X.  Something doesn't add up. 

Looks like the guy posting that owns some sort of music shop in Reseda, CA. I've been to Reseda. My sister lives there. I'd take any info that comes from there with a grain of salt. 

I said this over on the FB page, this is really great work. Well done.

If I ever find the guy who stole the VZ1 I was bidding on in the last 10 seconds of the auction, he'll have to play it with broken fingers. Thought I had it won. Ce la vie. I'll find something else.

The sounds are as beautiful today as they were when the synth was new

 

Splendid job.  You should consider putting it up on iTunes.

Thanks Gary.

This is a more fully developed version of my previous piece, still using nothing but a CZ1000. I call it Neo New Wave 80s synth pop. https://soundcloud.com/david-allen-price/cz-fun3

Got a CZ 1000 off Craigslist. Thought I would see what I could using nothing but my new toy. Not much of a composition but this old synth really has potential. Here's a Soundcloud link as well. https://soundcloud.com/david-allen-price/cz-fun2

Nice. I really dig the rhythm sequence in the song you don't know the name of.

Which keyboard did you use for this?

Personally I don't understand why you just wouldn't become a keyboard player. It's way cooler than being a bass player.

Good to hear that your XW has some longevity. I'm new to this forum having owned my P1 for about a month now, but I'm an old dog when it comes to keyboards and have owned and played some of the best. Totally impressed with what the P1 can do especially given the price. In fact, I saw a guy playing a KingKorg the other day and thought, wow, that's a really nice little keyboard, maybe I should have considered getting one of those instead of my P1. Then I looked up the price. Yes, the KingKorg is a nice little board, but is it $800.00 nicer than the P1? Hell no! 

Anyway, I look forward to a long happy marriage with my XW-P1 and I'm glad to be part of this family of users.

I'd love to answer you, but I'm a bit new to this style of sequencing myself. I'm figuring stuff out daily on my own and have watched Mike's videos, but still, I'd like it explained as though I'm a 5 year old.

New P1 owner and my first post. Not sure how far I'll take it, but I hope to do some ambient, and proggish type stuff with my new toy. However, I gig with both country and worship bands (or wherever the money takes me), and I've had a chance to take my toy onstage for both of those venues just to see how it would fare. So far so good. Of course for gigs it's a secondary board.
